NEW HOBO STUNT IN AMERICA
A new one has been put over by a motor hobo in America. Ho bought a second-hand axle for ! 25 cents, and, with this' on his shoulder, would start to trudge along the road. In* making.his way almost from one side of the Continent to the other, the hobo declared that he had never walked more than 100yds. at a time. Invariably a passing motorist, thinking Jhe had had a breakdown, would offer him a ride to the next town. And few of the good Samaritans would go back on their offer when he had enlightened them about the axle. , .
